How Did My Paintings Do?

I am sharing a photo with my 2 paintings and their ribbons.
As you can see the horse one got a red ribbon (guess that is like 2nd place) and the eagle got a blue ribbon (first place?). At least neither got white or even worse no ribbon. I would have loved best in division/show/ or even judge's choice. There was a superhero diamond painting that got best in show. It was really nice though.
There were a few that looked like they were done by hand (not like they came from a kit) but that person only got red ribbons on those ones.
So it was not too bad in the end, I suppose. I will get to pick it up Sunday or Monday and money if I get any (I think I should get $3.50 for the ribbons I got).
Will I do it again next year? Not sure. I think my son should make something out of Legos and take them.

Congratulations! First and second prizes. Not bad at all.
Legos are a big favorite in this house. My grandson has two storage bins full of lego pieces. He has about ten superheroes he has made that set on my bookshelf. And, I have several pictures of things he has made in the past.

Well for me, I want to get the best of, or judges choice ribbons...so may do it again to try to get those.
That's great about the legos...my son has a lot too but he doesn't play with them too much. But what he did with the superheroes he's made would be great at a fair

@MommyOfEli2013 .......Oh, yeah, they probably would be at a fair. He has had the pieces since he was about seven I suppose.

@MommyOfEli2013 I know you're being humble. I don't know how to paint but I know how to appreciate art. I am once an Art Appreciation instructor.
